Welcome back to the VXOC FORUM.
Sorry for our lack of support over the last year but MYBB is back and so are we.
Let's get the forum buzzing again... (March 25, 2022)x

As the year draws to a close, here are Chris Knott's Top 10 and Top 20 club/forum rankings for 2016 as they currently stand. Though of course there are still a few weeks of 2016 left and all could change!!
Remember, to feature in our Top 20 a club/forum will be producing a high number of quote enquiries AND Chris Knott will be converting a strong percentage into policies.
There's a good argument that if you drive one of the cars on the list you're more likely to save money on your STANDARD/MODIFIED/MULTI-CAR insurance when you ask Chris Knott to quote, based on recent past performance.
Chris Knott's Top 20 so far for 2016:
1. Volvo Owners Club
2. Alfa Romeo Owners Club
3. Briskoda
4. Saab Owners Club GB
5. BabyBMW .net
6. Mercedes Owner
7. Z4 Forum
8. Audi-Sport .net
9. CivInfo
10. BMW 5 Owners Club
11. Vectra C/Signum Owners Club
12. MPS Owners Club
13. Fiesta ST Owners Club
14. Kia Owners Club
15. GT86/BRZ Owners Club
16. BimmerForums
17. TT Forum
18. VWAudi Forum
19. AlfaOwner .com
20. Hyundai Coupe Owners Club
Regardless of whether you're on the list, we'd like to thank you if you've asked us to quote - we don't take the regular and steady stream of enquiries from club members for granted.
If you haven't yet tried us for a quote on your pride and joy please give us a go at the next renewal - we'd love to look after more members from this forum.
Quoteline: 0800 917 2274 - please mention your club/forum to receive the full benefit of the scheme.
PS. Next week I'll be revealing the winner of the Chris Knott Autumn Prize Draw. One lucky car enthusiast will WIN a pair of VIP tickets to the Performance Car Show at the NEC on Saturday 14th January with all sorts of privileged access and exclusive features.

After installing the heated leather seats I'm encountering a few issues that I'm hoping are an easy fix!
First is the heater controls, drivers side stays on forever once pressed but the passenger side goes off after roughly about one minute..
The lumbar support works fine on both seats.
The seats don't seem to be heating up properly, I can feel that my seat heats up a little bit but being on full power is of thought you'd feel a noticeable heat..
I've not sat in passenger seat yet but it doesn't seem to warm up either, also if I put it on to number 2 heat it stays on forever!
So when my car had Turbo issue's the dealership did a software update to the ECU.
This update is related to the DPF
Quote:It adjusts the parameters for the dpf temperature sensors to improve dpf performance and avoid overloading dpf, eml lights and in worst cases engine stalling.
it's a software weakness that only effects astra j, cascada and zafira tourers up to model year MY13.5. The update will just adjust the software weakness that is present.
At first I didn't notice anything when I got the car back as the turbo was still faulty and car was going into limp mode.
After the turbo was replaced I noticed the drop in performance, but then I had a faulty DPF sensor.
Since getting the car back from that being replaced I've had poor fuel economy too, I put his down to the fuel filter and the car was due a service, after a service still no improvement so I've been trying all different fuels all to no avail.
I've spoken to Vauxhall customer services, and they said I need to book it in at a dealership and have it checked out and they can read any fault codes, I explained to them there are no fault codes so my 2 local dealerships (Edan's) will just say no fault found.
I have thought about re-calibrating the fuel injectors and DPF sensors but I now other people are also starting to notice the same issue it can't be them @ fault.
Is there anyone else on here that has also noticed this?
Hello all. My second post on the forum.
I've owned Vaux's since the 80's. Mainly Astra's. I'm looking forward to making a future contribution to this forum
Hi
I've just bought a late 2013 gtc 2.0 diesel sri and was wondering if they all came with Bluetooth & TPMS, because both options are missing from the menus on mine. Tia
